Audio-Technica AT8484 Shock Mount with locking mechanism for BP40; fits 5/8’-27 threaded stands; fits case style R12

Product Overview

The Audio-Technica AT8484 is a locking shock mount engineered to isolate the BP40 broadcast microphone from mechanical noise. It attenuates shock and vibration transmitted through mic stands, booms, and mounts before that energy reaches the capsule. An inner ring rotates to engage ball bearings that lock the microphone securely in place. The mount threads onto standard 5/8"-27 stands used throughout broadcast and production environments.

Product Description

The AT8484 is the dedicated BP40 shock mount, designed to suspend the microphone and decouple it from low-frequency rumble and handling artifacts that travel through stands and boom arms. Its suspension system absorbs shock and vibration, helping preserve the clean, low-noise capture that broadcast and podcast applications demand. The locking mechanism is the standout: rotating the inner shock mount ring engages ball bearings that grip the microphone, holding it firmly without slippage during long sessions or repositioning. This Audio-Technica BP40 shock mount fits 5/8"-27 threaded stands, making it compatible with the mic stands, booms, and desktop mounts already common in studio and on-air installations. The all-mechanical design requires no power and adds no signal path, so it integrates into any rig without affecting the audio chain. For broadcast engineers and content creators, it is a practical way to keep table thumps, footfalls, and stand-borne noise out of the recording. You can review the full BP40 accessory lineup at Creation Networks. The unit also fits case style R12 for transport and storage.
